Calling all OL'ers......:)

mind=blown how quick that front squat was. stupid easy

well it's almost 40kg below my max, haha


this has begun

[schabowy90]

^^hell yeah!

all i do is throw one piece down in the middle and rubber on either side haha. quick easy cleanup to get my moms car back in the garage.

[forcefedfreak]

lol fukk snatch balances... Great for improving lockout strength but little carryover to the snatch - jerks are heavier and do the same job.

I disagree. They've helped my speed under the bar and my stability in the hole.

partially agreed

lol

Definitely helped with stability, not sure if they helped with speed under, definitely didn't hurt it though

yeah, I just have mats right now, but we are moving soon (already have the house) so that platform is on my side of the garage and is permanent (well you know what I mean).

100kg muscle clean (from high hang) today. 240kg deadlift.

I'm getting a much stronger pull but i'm regressing bad. Can't even drop into a proper quarter squat, I try to muscle clean everything.

why would anyone rip you apart for deadlifting that much dude, gorilla mode unlocked...

Bad form, shoes are off and no oly lifting purpose. 100% srs I will vehemently disagree with anyone who thinks deadlifts help your oly lifts. It's been my latest discussion with people and they can't seem to grasp that the key is front squatting. The pull is rarely the limiting factor anyways.

[DaTruth1]

^ Your channel is all deadlifts lol

yeah I was always told your max deadlift means **** in weightlifting, it's all about dat dere squatty time

[scarboro]

Lol it's all of the videos i've ever taken. 100% srs though get ready for some vids of me powercleaning, max barbell curling (63kg this week, not a pr) and maybe some muscleups/random gymnastics. I do more of that than anything else.




Putting this thread back on track: Jon North 195
Must be the new Pendlay shoes :P
He recently front squatted a PR 220 so makes sense also CJ PR. Insane efficiency though.




Also what is your favorite MDUSA lifter? Mine is The Spartan James Tatum. I think he's going to go 145/175 @ 77 by next year.

[jb4476]

220 is not an FS PR for Jon btw. Jon has FSed 500 lb, there's an 18 month old video of him doing it.

You're correct. I just remembered that video. It looked easier before and no wraps either.

[DaTruth1]

Bout time Jon hit a CJ PR. The new grip is finally paying off. I used to really like watching Kevin Cornell... he was so damn fast. Now, I think my fav guy to watch is Chris the 77, he gets so upright and his jerk is nice to watch. The only reason I like MDUSA/cal strength is cuz they provide so much weightlifting entertainment/content, I am actually kind of disgusted by a lot of the lifters' technique. They are all better weightlifters than I am, but none of them are really that talented in the world wide weightlifting landscape... It's too bad we can't watch weekly training clips from international gyms. I liked podium gold's channel when Hysen was in the states, and I still prefer Clarence Kennedy's channel - now THAT kid is going places.

We think alike bro lol. For sure Clarence has promise of legit world class numbers and better than any american. His technique, strength and lifting style shows the sky is the limit. Hysen is probably done btw, can't compete at the olympics anymore. They don't give much/any $$$ for world/euro championships so I can't see him having the motivation to get back on track. I translated a video where they said a medal at euros gets them 500$.

The national team gives them $250 for every 5 months and in the video the lifter claims he hadn't been paid in a year lol.

[randyyle]

Actually, that's when you need to keep going, because it will force your body to get under the bar into a deeper FS position. In a squat clean, it's not mostly about how high you can pull the bar, it's mostly about how fast and deep you can get under the bar while staying tight. Front squat anything you power clean, without standing up first. Lower the weight and just go lift.

alright i understand what your saying, i will try to record it and upload it soon
